Systems and methods for managing electricity supply from demand
View Patent ↗A system to manage power consumption from a grid includes a building switchgear; an energy storage system (ESS) coupled to the building switchgear to selectively provide power in response to a customer power demand to prevent a customer grid power consumption from spiking and peaking at grid imbalance highest cost on peak times; an energy management system (EMS) to operate the ESS from behind-the-meter; and a data distribution service (DDS) coupled to the EMS forming a DDS-EMS network to provide a global data space servicing EMS edge publishers and subscribers.
1. A system to manage power consumption
from a grid, comprising:
a building switchgear;
an energy storage system (ESS) coupled to the building switchgear to selectively provide power in response to a customer power demand to prevent a customer grid power consumption from spiking and peaking cost at peak times;
an energy management system (EMS) to operate the ESS from behind-the-meter; and
a data distribution service (DDS) coupled to the EMS forming a DDS-EMS network to provide a global data space servicing EMS edge publishers and subscribers and wherein the EMS edge publishers and subscribers looks for the DDS-EMS network and wherein each EMS edge node receives an acknowledgment and a signal on DDS-EMS network connection, wherein a trace module records and passes actions to a Runtime Verification (RV) unit.
2. The system of claim 1 , comprising a trace layer that guarantees traceability and a response within a predetermined period.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the RV performs runtime monitoring based on Linear Temporal Logic (LTL).
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein each edge publisher or subscriber performs read/write according to a quality of service (QOS) and wherein the QoS is communicated over a trace layer.
5. The system of claim 4 , wherein QoS comprises a predetermined operation time limit.
6. The system of claim 4 , wherein QoS comprises a 1000 ms operation time limit and the QoS is communicated to a trace module.
7. The system of claim 1 , comprising an independent system operator (ISO) accepted meter coupled to the building switchgear, the ISO meter including a telemetry unit to communicate with an ISO.
8. The system of claim 1 , comprising a utility revenue grade meter coupled to the grid building switchgear.
9. The system of claim 1 , comprising an ESS controller to control operations of the ESS including a battery management system in each battery rack and a power conversion system (PCS) coupled to the battery rack, and a battery fire alarm system or fire suppression system.
10. The system of claim 1 , comprising AC and DC disconnect switches positioned between the grid and one or more power conversion systems.
11. The system of claim 1 , comprising code to profile Customer Electricity Usage, code to determine electricity cost savings, and code to optimize resource capacity.
12. The system of claim 1 , comprising code to determine a consumption behavior over a period of time to identify a Demand and Energy Peak Usage Pattern and Patterns during on-peak hours under Utility Tariffs.
13. The system of claim 1 , comprising code to find a highest peak (kW) during on-peak hours and code to find a lowest peak (kW) during on-peak hours.
14. The system of claim 13 , comprising code to calculate 95% of the lowest peak.
15. A system to manage power consumption from a grid, comprising:
a building switchgear;
an independent system operator (ISO) accepted meter coupled to the building switchgear, the ISO meter including a telemetry unit to communicate with an ISO; and
an energy storage system (ESS) coupled to the building switchgear, and an ISO or System Performance Meter, wherein the ESS selectively provides power in response to a customer power demand to prevent a customer grid power consumption from spiking and peaking cost at peak times; and
a data distribution service (DDS) coupled to the EMS forming a DDS-EMS network to provide a global data space servicing EMS edge publishers and subscribers, the DDS including a trace layer that guarantees traceability and a response within a predetermined period and wherein the EMS edge publishers and subscribers look for the DDS-EMS network and wherein each EMS edge node receives an acknowledgment and a signal on DDS-EMS network connection, wherein a trace module records and passes actions to a Runtime Verification (RV) unit.
16. The system of claim 15 , comprising a plurality of photovoltaic (PV) modules coupled to the ESS.
17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the plurality of PV modules are connected to one or more PV combiners.
18. The system of claim 17 , comprising a DC-DC converter coupled to the PV combiners, further comprising a plurality of battery combiners coupled to the DC-DC converter.
